One of my very favorite recipes, this scrap of paper followed us through two trips to Vietnam and six kitchens. It’s been well used and has the oil/fish sauce stains to prove it.
It’s just one of 15+ recipes in the cookbook I am making for the campaign. If you’re interested in it, check out the Indiegogo page to find out how to make it yours.
When writer and mother Teresa Coates bought plane tickets to Vietnam for her kids and herself, she thought she was following her true love. Instead, she found that the love of her life wasn't a man – it was the orphaned and abandoned children in Tam Ky, the street sellers in Hanoi, and the graduate students in Thanh Hoa. She found a life that made her happier than she'd ever imagined, then had to leave it all behind. For love of family.
